So, my wife and kids are helping me pick the color. My kids like the Antimatter. My wife likes Carbonized. I tell her I can't decide and she says..."well, do you want to look like a rugged mountain man or a sophisticated CEO?" I've looked like a rugged mountain man my whole life, but now that I'm in my 40's and moving up the management chain it has me thinking. I love both colors. Let's do a poll just between these two colors.

I only wish the AMB looked like that even most of the time. I have seen it in person on the F-150/F-250 and, sadly, it does not. Only some of the time.

Can’t go wrong either way! Carbonized will be easier but Antimatter polished in the sun will be more stunning. Both colors are sophisticated in my mind.

P.S. mountain man rugged CEO!

Go AMB which is definitely the City Slicker and if you decide it doesn't work wrap it Carbonized Gray and be that Mountain man with the City Slicker underneath.

I don't understand your wife's logic.

Dark blue, black, grey's, silver and white are all 'safe' colors that are good for fleet vehicles and business owned cars. That one of the reasons those colors are so common.

I really don't see them as any different in that regard so I don't get the rugged mountain man vs ceo thing.

Unless they come out with a plaid edition; that's your rugged mountain man.

Plus it's a freaking bronco not audi q7.

Gray is boring. Dark blue is less so. Both are safe, man working up the ladder, colors.

Carbonized gray - if you don't like it, a vinyl wrap is easy enough to obtain.

Limiting your colour choices because of your age is the worst advice you could possibly give. Want to know why some people have a mid-life crisis? It's because they stop being who they are and try to become who others think they should be.

Do your own thing and you won't have regrets to overcompensate for later.
That is solid advise Paul. Hell I'm old, and my Bronco is going to be Race Red. That's all because I don't give a good fat rats ass what anyone else thinks. Never have, never will. As a good friend used to say, "It ain't no popularity contest anymore".

How much to you like washing and detailing? The blue is going to suck the life out of you to keep it looking good. When fully detailed it looks incredible. One lap around the block and it will look dirty. The gray looks clean even when it's not. It doesn't have the vibrant pizazz that the blue has but it also looks good days after washing.
Having seen both in person, I would say the gray was more vibrant than the AMB. CG has nice speckles in it. AMB is just bluish black, though it does have some speckles in the sun.

One pic is worth a thousand words.

This pic almost sold me on Carb Gray, but I went Iconic Silver to add a bit of contrast (and both my current vehicles are dark gray). But can't argue how good this looks.

Under no circumstance can you let your wife win an argument. Once you let her get the first victory it's all downhill from there, plus, nothing about the 6th gen Bronco screams "CEO".

And AMB is pretty bad. Split the difference and wait for the 7th gen Bronco or just choose shadow black. Those are the only two ways around this I can see. 🍺
